Hi Greg - Please don't yell at her - I hate that!
When you said "Part of my eyes only work to the left-side eyes, but walking, there’s nothing there on my right-side eyes" that is common after stroke and TBI. Yours would be called "right side neglect" - your eyes may see things on the right, but fail to inform your brain. My Mom had it on the left, which is why her car had to go - she would pull out into oncoming traffic and not even know it.
After all this driving talk, we retook the safe driving course yesterday and passed it - I might even have learned a thing or two - beyond relearning how much I hate computer-driven courses!
I expect my spouse will be driving for a while yet, the balance will just gradually continue to shift. And I do the night and unfamiliar-big-city driving. But he is far better than I am at backing up our camper.
On the other hand, my same-age cousin's car keys are permanently "lost" because any discussion of stopping driving are met with terrible outbursts. But the thought that she just mislaid them works for right now.
